Résumé

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot remain at risk of life-threatening ventricular tachycardia related to slow-conducting anatomical isthmuses (SCAIs). Preventive ablation of SCAI identified by invasive electroanatomical mapping is increasingly performed. This study aimed to non-invasively identify SCAI using 3D late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (3D-LGE-CMR). METHODS: Consecutive tetralogy of Fallot patients who underwent right ventricular electroanatomical mapping (RV-EAM) and 3D-LGE-CMR were included. High signal intensity threshold for abnormal myocardium was determined based on direct comparison of bipolar voltages and signal intensity by co-registration of RV-EAM with 3D-LGE-CMR. The diagnostic performance of 3D-LGE-CMR to non-invasively identify SCAI was determined, validated in a second cohort, and compared with the discriminative ability of proposed risk scores. RESULTS: The derivation cohort consisted of 48 (34 ± 16 years) and the validation cohort of 53 patients (36 ± 18 years). In the derivation cohort, 78 of 107 anatomical isthmuses (AIs) identified by EAM were normal-conducting AI, 22 were SCAI, and 7 blocked AI. High signal intensity threshold was 42% of the maximal signal intensity. The sensitivity and specificity of 3D-LGE-CMR for identifying SCAI or blocked AI were 100% and 90%, respectively. In the validation cohort, 85 of 124 AIs were normal-conducting AI, 36 were SCAI, and 3 blocked AI. The sensitivity and specificity of 3D-LGE-CMR were 95% and 91%, respectively. All risk scores showed an at best modest performance to identify SCAI (area under the curve ≤ .68). CONCLUSIONS: 3D late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance can identify SCAI with excellent accuracy and may refine non-invasive risk stratification and patient selection for invasive EAM in tetralogy of Fallot.
